Overview
Blue World Trade Center (BWTC) is a commercial high-rise on GT Road, between Bahria Town and DHA Islamabad, developed by the Blue Group of Companies, the developer of Blue World City. It is planned as a trading and business hub for local and international traders, offering shops, corporate offices and loft apartments alongside shopping, dining and entertainment for families.
The structural plan describes a 500-foot, 27-storey twin-tower structure modelled on the Petronas Twin Towers. The Blue Group of Companies, led by Mr Saad Nazir, has engaged a Chinese construction firm for the build. Floors are allocated by use:
Building facilities listed for the project include full air-conditioning, Wi-Fi and round-the-clock maintenance. Shops are grouped into Platinum, Gold and Silver categories, each priced differently, while office prices vary by floor.

Bahria Town Hospital is directly opposite (about a 2-minute drive), PC Hotel is listed as a 10-minute walk and Rawalpindi Railway Station as around 15 minutes away. Nearby landmarks include Giga Mall, Lignum Tower, the Blue World City Head Office, Beaconhouse School System, Silk Mall on GT Road and Bait-Al-Mandi.
